Paul Attanasio

"It's the kind of stuff you come up with when you're not trying very hard, and on Spies Like Us, nobody seems to be trying"

"You can't tell one amigo from another, the gags are silly (a "singing bush") and far between, the dialogue full of inane wordplay"  

"A deeply conservative movie, both in style and outlook. Worse, it's a bore"  

"Runaway Train isn't just bad -- it's bodaciously bad, grotesquely overblown, lurid in its emotion (...) And anyone with a taste for camp will have a glorious good time"

"A movie about arm-wrestling. What's next? Crab soccer?"  

"'Summer' is, for better and for worse, an Eric Rohmer film, which means that it is dull, slow and seemingly aimless, but in such a way that it's unlike all the other dull, slow and seemingly aimless films"  

"Golan and Bruner, in other words, have made the Holocaust into just another tear-jerking tool for the Cannon Productions shlockenspiel"  

"Chuck Norris fans will not be disappointed"

Some of director Alan Parker's compositions here are striking (...)Then again, they're all the same -- after two hours, you're bored by them"  

"Some sort of combination of a teen-age' Bewitched' and a 'Police Academy' for department stores"  

"A lovingly gentle yet vibrant tribute to jazz, friendship and film itself"  

"Nearly unwatchable"

"The movie makes fun of itself, but it does so joylessly"
